Other Safety Considerations

● If the inverter is used in a manner not specified in this manual or by Latronics, protection
provided by this equipment may be impaired
●
All standard Latronics inverters have an isolation rating of 3500V between a.c. and d.c. via the
toroidal transformer, which provides safe operation.
●
All LS series inverters have short circuit protection which limits the maximum fault current to
the 5 sec. surge rating of the inverter.
●
All the switching electronics and control circuitry are on the d.c. input.
●
For 12V, 24V and 48V d.c. inverters the circuit breaker assembly isolates the positive pole
only from the battery supply.
●
For 72V, 96V and 110V, 120V and 125V d.c. inverters the circuit breaker assembly isolates the
positive and negative pole from the battery supply.
● If the battery voltage drops below nominal voltage this can effect the output voltage. If you
have loads that are sensitive to low a.c. voltages please ensure the battery voltage is never
able to drop below nominal voltage.
●
All LS inverters contain double insulated mains frequency transformers.
●
There are Y2 capacitors installed across active-earth and neutral-earth and are required for
EMC. These capacitors can establish a voltage divider which shows on some multimeter's as
a voltage from earth-active and earth-neutral.
